From Lindsay Planer

As if today wasn’t bad enough … Earl Kress … the sweetest man on earth — the only OTHER male i knew who loved Hanna Barbera as much as i do (esp. the original Flintstones series) has passed. Wow … he will be sorely missed. Our endless conversations about animators, animation vs production cells, and just plain goofy geek talk will never be duplicated or replicated. The man knew his craft.
